If you’re planning on doing Valentine’s Day crafts with your kids at home or in class with your students, this one is pretty simple and guaranteed to turn out really well. We even have a template to make the process easier as it takes the guesswork out when it comes to core sizes.
How to Make a Heart Dog Craft Valentine’s Day Card
What do you need:
our printable template (optional)
different colored construction paper or coloring supplies
the scissors
glue
marker pen
googly eyes (optional)

Step by step tutorial
Print the model. If you are using coloring supplies, first have the children color the parts of the model.

Cut out all the model pieces.

Trace the two joining hearts onto construction paper. This will be the dog’s head – we choose a light brown color.

Trace the middle heart on construction paper – this will make the ears – we choose dark brown for the ears.

Trace the smaller heart onto construction paper – we choose black as it makes the nose.

The last part to trace is the tongue. If you want this craft to be all about hearts, you can skip the tongue, although we think it looks super cool.

Cut out all the traced shapes.

Fold the two joined hearts in half to make the head card.

Cut the ears in half.

Stick them on the head.

Glue the nose to the head and the tongue to the inside of the card.

Draw a few spots on the dog’s muzzle and draw the eyes or stick on a pair of googly eyes.

Write your note inside the card.

Finished!

Your heart dog craft is ready to be given to someone special.
